About the role
TL;DR: Turn millions of minutes of unstructured clinical roleplay data into the industry's first objective, standardized metric for behavioral health competency.
About SimCare
SimCare's AI avatars let students train and be evaluated on realistic simulated clients. We wrap that in a complete experiential learning stack of AI LMS, field experience, and compliance agents, used across the whole student journey from admissions to license.
Where we are
We run extremely lean: a 2-person engineering team serving 100k+ students across 300+ institutions, on multiple products. The surface area is huge and so is the impact.
About the role
We're hiring a Founding Engineer to join us as the third member of the engineering team. You'll own major surfaces of the product end to end: designing, building, shipping, and operating features used daily by students, faculty, and program administrators. You'll work directly with the founders, shape the architecture and engineering culture of the company, and help define how we build with AI agents at the center of our workflow.
This is a high-ownership, high-trust role. You'll move between products, from our AI avatar simulations to our LMS, field experience, and compliance tools, and you'll ship to production constantly. We work 5 days a week, in person, and we expect the pace and intensity that comes with an early-stage company at this kind of scale.

- You’re looking for a well-defined tasks.
- You hate the idea of a fast-moving environment where things might break.

Location & Comp:
- We’re based in New York City. We require you to be in person though we are flexible for the first 1-2 months.
- Salary range: $160K – $200K
- Equity: 0.5% – 1.0%
